Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] lch() function needs to use CSS types properly.

I agree that H is an angle (by definition). It is also always written 
in degrees, in existing useage, so forcing people to add the string 
"deg" to it is needless verbosity. When transcribing a measurement 
(from a spectrometer, for example) they will need to remember to edit 
the hue angle to 30deg instead of 30, or it won't work. This is a 
usability drawback with no compensating advantage except for 
theoretical purity. I chose compatibility with existing practice as 
preferable.

L is, as Florian says, not a percentage. 50% is 0.5, which is 100 
times less light than 50. Percentages are fine when the range is 0.0 
to 1.0, which is not the case here.
